Hour 2: Risks of AI · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, AI, of course, over the last month has taken
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: over the conversation, not only at the UN, but across
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the country. And it is squarely now in the midterms elections.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: And last night, Dario Amadei, who is one of the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: leaders in saying the world is going to end, one
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of the tech leaders, now there are plentiful, there's a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of them, had dinner with Donald Trump at
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the White House. Now, we don't really... know exactly what
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: was said at this point. There's going to be a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: lot more tomorrow, but I'm sure Donald Trump was telling
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: him to cool down a little bit. But from the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: very beginning, and I know Curtis has a lot more
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to say about this, but let me just say this.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: From the very beginning, I've been suspicious about this whole
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: AI thing. You mean they just found out in the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: middle of the midterms a few weeks ago? They just
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: found out what a risk this is? They just decided
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to tell us. And the fact that Amodei came out
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and said that this was going to happen, and then
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: everybody else said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, me too,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: really got to me. Then I watched his speech at
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the UN. And his speech at the UN really crystallized
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to me what is going on.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The first is misuse of AI models.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Let me set that up a little bit better, because
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: he said that this is one of the greatest threats
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to humanity. Then he went through the risks, and he
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: says there are two.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The first is misuse of AI models. For example, misuse
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: by bioterrorists to create biological weapons. The second risk is
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: loss of control. Model capabilities accelerating beyond developers' ability to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: control them.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And because of those two risks, he's saying this could
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: wipe out civilization.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: If managed poorly, I even believe that AI could be
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: a risk to humanity as a whole. At Anthropic, we
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: believe we have the best track record in the industry
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: for preventing these risks, both operationally and in our research.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Fire and brimstone, dogs and cats sleeping together. I mean,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he was calling for an end of the world. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: then after he did that and scared everybody at the UN,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this was the tell. He went into a sales pitch.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Who can fix all this? Anthropic.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: We test every model for dangerous capabilities in areas like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: cybersecurity and biology. We put strong safeguards on our most
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: capable models, and we publish our work in these areas.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: We have pioneered.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: research in areas like mechanistic interpretability and alignment science that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: improve our ability to steer and control our models.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So he was the first one out. And Curtis, he said, Anthropic,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Anthropic is the one to go with. If you want
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to fight this, if you want to save humanity, you
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have to talk to me because I am front and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: center on this. And so right when he said that,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: everybody knew what he was doing, apparently, in the industry.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody came out and said, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we're better at it. We're better at it. We're better
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: at it. So it is really suspect to me, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: at first I thought it was politics. Now I understand
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it's money. That these companies want more control over AI globally,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and they want to be the guardrail. They want to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: be the guardians of AI around the world. What do
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Well, in terms of Dario at Anthropic, and the reason
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: the president had dinner with him at 10 o'clock last night,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: in Washington, D.C. at the White House, coming back from
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: the golf tournament that the president was at, is because
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: he has been at war with the Pentagon. The Pentagon,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Pete Hicks, our Secretary of War, wanted complete control of
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Anthropic by purchasing the software and then determining how it
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: could be used. And Dario said, no, no, there's certain
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: guardrails with our product you cannot. So that's tied up
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: in the courts now. But I think the president realizes
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: he's hearing from Republicans. that out there on the stump,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: this idea that this is fake news, you know, this
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: is the favorite term of President Donald Trump, fake news,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: fake news. And you say to yourself, wait a second,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the president put out there on a social networking, the
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: only guardrails AI needed was a strong and smart, high
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: IQ president. And the U.S. has that in spades. Now,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the president may be an expert on many things, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: we know he's not an expert on AI. And I
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: think that's why you see on Tuesday they are assembling
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the CEOs of AI companies, whether they're friendly to the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: administration or not friendly. trying to come up with one
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: way to deal with this, because the president, remember, promised
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I'm going to have an AI czar. I'm going to
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: have a committee on AI. He realizes this is percolating.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: He can't just leave it like no guardrails, full speed ahead.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: We're going to beat the red Chinese. You know, we
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: don't need there to be guardrails. The whole world wants guardrails.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But you heard from Anthropic. They already have guardrails. They
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: already got them.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: That's anthropic. But there are other companies that are involved
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: in this.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But they all say the same thing. They all say
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the same thing. They just want control.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I understand. And we want, at least I want, government
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: control of this. So there's a chorus out there, as
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you heard. from the U.S. Senator Kennedy of Louisiana. He
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: wanted a kill switch. Let's face it, he's a very
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: prominent Republican. They're going to debate that. They're going to
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: debate other measures, but I would not leave it to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: the companies themselves to have the guardrails to know when
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: to shut it down, when it gets out of control.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: So I'm looking forward to see what comes out when
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: all the AI executives of all the companies competing for
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: contracts meet with the president and his staff And try
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: to come up with a policy other than this is
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: fake news. Because, you know, after a while, Larry, it
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: gets old. Yeah, but... Fake news, really?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Where does this happen? How does it happen so quickly?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: We were all into AI a month ago. Everybody, the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: whole world was into AI. It was going to change
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the world. There wasn't this fear. Then this guy puts
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: out a post saying that, oh, 10... There's a 10%
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: chance it's going to end the world. And, of course,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: everybody else then got on board and said, yep, yep,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: he's right, 10% chance. Where was this before? It is odd.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It is really odd how quickly this story blew up
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: from one guy's post saying the 10%. There's a 10%
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: chance the world could end. It's just all of it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: very suspicious to me. We weren't worried about it a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: couple months ago. Now we think it's going to be
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the end of the world and it needs government control
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and it needs to be seen all the time and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: there need to be guardrails. There needs to be a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: kill switch. Look, I'm not smart enough to know about
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: AI and exactly what the harm it could do. But
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I know that every time there's been a problem in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the past, and there's been over 100 problems in the past,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: they've been able to deal with it and quickly.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Well, the only ally the president has, high profile, is
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the guy who makes all the superchips. Who started working
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: in a Wendy's and worked his way up, put together
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: a consortium and now is probably Nirvana, I think is
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the name of the company. Could well be the world's
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: wealthiest man right up there with Elon Musk. He's the
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: only supporter of the president. Full speed ahead, no guardrails.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Even Elon Musk signed on to the letter that says
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: we need guardrails. So let them have their debate. Let
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: them have their discourse. But, Larry, you're going to get
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: killed in the midterm elections if the president keeps acting
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: like AI is not of importance to the public.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing this. AI is going to change the midterms.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It's not going to change the midterms. It doesn't even
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: register in the top 10. It may. I'm not going
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to say it may not, but it would have to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: grow substantially from where it is now.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Well, remember— Gas prices are the number one. Oh, there's
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: no doubt. Gas prices, diesel, groceries, mortgages, you're right. But
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Bill Gates on the weekend let off another hand grenade.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: He was on NBC Meet the Press, and he said— AI, unchecked,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: could cause a billion deaths. And he called for regulation. Now,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: when you have all these people, and they're prominent in
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: their fields. I realize for Bill Gates, he's trying to
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: distance himself from being a best friend of Jeffrey Epstein
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: along with Woody Allen. Apparently met with Jeffrey Epstein 30 times.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: But he's also blaring his horn. So you say to yourself,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the one thing that does make sense, AI in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: wrong hands could cause death. a lot of trouble out there.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And look, every one of them says there has to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be guardrails. Then they talk about their guardrails. They said
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: there are already guardrails. It's just that they have them
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and they want to be the ones that control everything.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's just, to me, it's so obvious what's going on.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: To me, it's so obvious that these people want absolute
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: control over AI. They don't want it taken from them.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They don't want countries to run it, and they want
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to be the only ones that decide what the guardrails
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: are and when a kill switch should be shut off.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Because they've already admitted they have the guardrails. They've already
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: admitted there's been some problems that they've been able to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: take care of easily. But now, all of a sudden,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we go to this draconian thing where the world is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: going to end. There's got to be a reason for
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that to accelerate so much.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Although it's a subtopic of the conference, they're going to
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: be talking about AI data filing centers. And Wall Street
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: basically sent out a signal to all the big companies
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: who were trying to build these data filing centers with
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: AI all across the country that there's too many of them. Then,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: in fact, this could create a bubble. You have all
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: these data filing centers there. may not be the need
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: we're pouring billions and billions and billions of dollars into
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: this they are suggesting when it comes to the AI
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: data filing centers That these companies put the brakes on
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: it because the demand is not there for that many centers.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: We talked about this before. We've been talking about this
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: for a while, that it's a bubble. There absolutely is
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a bubble. And the reason these data centers are opening
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: so quickly and there is all these false promises and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they don't want to build anything, they want existing data.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: They want existing warehouses is exactly what you said. It
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is because they got to get their money right now.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: They got to get up. They got to get their
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: money because they know a lot of these are not
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: going to exist in the next couple of years.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Well, if you want to get your talkbacks in, please
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: do on this subject and any of the others that
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I discuss, especially my shots at Ray Stajic. Weather forecast.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Who we're going to hear from again in the 8
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: o'clock hour. I get a second opportunity to do that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: But up next, oh, the MTV Video Awards with the
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: old curmudgeon Madonna and the new gal dominating Taylor Swift.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Plus a chance to see Stevie Wonder at 825. Now
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: starting Monday, October 5th. WOR has nine chances every weekday
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: to score a grand in your hand. A grand in
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: your hand. Listen for the keyword every hour from 9 a.m.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: to 5 p.m. Enter it on our website and you
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: could win a thousand bucks starting today, Monday. October 1st.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So did you watch the VMA Awards last night? Did
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: anybody watch the VMA Awards last night? It doesn't... Of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: all of the big awards, it's pretty far down on
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the list, but it attracts a lot of young people.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: So for that reason, the networks just love it and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: are always fighting for it. And by the way, if
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you didn't watch, Madonna... won seven VMAs, setting a record,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and here she is accepting for Best Dance Music. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: came to New York to be a dancer, and dance
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is where everything happened for me in my life. I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: came to life on the dance floor. I found my
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: community on the dance floor.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I fell in love with people on the dance floor.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: What happened to her British accent? You guys got away.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: God bless her. Hold on.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: You realize she's getting all these awards, some of them
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: made up for the first time. She forgot what the
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: awards were for. I mean, she clearly is like, lady,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: enough already.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: She's talking about dance music. She won for dance.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I listen to it. I'm into dance music. It's like, okay.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: But it's like Madonna again. It's like recycled Madonna. But
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: I will tell you, I was hoping that Kanye West
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: had a comeback. Because Taylor Swift is up there. She's getting, again,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: newly created awards. Most awarded artists ever. I wish Kanye
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: would have come up, grabbed that award and said, you're
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: no Beyonce.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: What is your problem with these successful women? I mean,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I hear you attack the men so much. Well, I'll
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: tell you one thing. You were playing one of the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: four new drops of Taylor Swift. I think it was
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Friday or Thursday, and I panned the one you played.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that one was a diss track
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: against Joe Jonas, one of her many former boyfriends. She's had, what, Natalie,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: 12 former boyfriends?
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: But I would think if you're happily married now, like
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Kelsey is your dreamboat, You would give up doing these
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: diss tracks. She dropped a diss track on Joe Jonas.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: This isn't up. The Beatles did it. The Beatles used
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to trash. old flames for years afterwards in their songs.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Enough already.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: But whatever inspires you to write a song, which may
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: be a hit.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Hate?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: So if I'm Kelsey, I'm watching my P's and Q's
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: because if they ever go a separate path, 50% of
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: marriages end up in divorce. She will do album after
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: album after album crushing Kelsey. Well, that's true.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That is absolutely true.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: He'll end up with no gonads.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Why don't we hear from her instead of you for
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a second after she won her 30-second VMA?
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Every single song that she wrote, her storytelling was so
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: vivid and so rich. It was like listening to her songs.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: It's like watching the best music video you have ever
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: seen in your life every single time.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You hear what she has written.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And she.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: Man, she handled this thing with such grace and joy
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: and love and gratitude for the fact that she got
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: to do this. And everything that happened in her life
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: or her career, she channeled back into love and gratitude
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: and appreciation for her fans. I am lucky I got
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: to be one of them, and I will always be
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: one of them.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Man, is she a great person. How about the fact
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that she dedicated everything to Dolly Parton and spent all
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of her time up there in front of the microphone?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: talking about Dolly Parton. Isn't that wonderful, Curtis?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Other artists did that, too, at the awards. The only
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: one I don't think who did that was Snoop Dogg.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: He was horrible as the emcee. He probably didn't smoke
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: any ropes of dope before he went up there as
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: the emcee.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Funny, I didn't hear anybody else, only because she's the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: only one that anybody cares about and the only sound
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that was played the next day because she is such
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: an incredible artist.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: You know why you keep bending over backwards? You attacked
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: her Swifties initially.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: You got so much fallback that you're so burnt out.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: It's like, I love you, Taylor. I love you.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Every once in a while, I can
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: admit when I'm wrong. You should try that every once
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in a while. Let's get some talkbacks.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Hey, guys. Hicksville didn't get it very bad, but did
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: you see in the city the water swirling going down
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: the subway like the toilet that Mom Donnie's turned New
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: York City into? That was priceless.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Ah, that was priceless.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Well, you can blame him for that, but it's the MTA.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: That's Hochul. That's the money-taking agency, the subways. Oh, that's
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a tough one. He doesn't run the subways other than
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: the policing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Let's still blame Mom Donnie.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: Why is it that everybody is surprised when you live
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: zero to three feet above sea level that there's flooding?
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: I live 900 feet above sea level. If there's flooding
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: up by me, then it's a surprise.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Then it's time to build the arc, right?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The people that live in those flood
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: areas aren't surprised. Who's surprised all the time are the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: TV reporters. They might as well just set up a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: bureau in those areas.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Very true. You know, I chastise you because you're letting
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: our race stage you off the hook. I'm telling you,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: the guy sounded like he was on Quaaludes when he
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: was doing those lead-up weather reports. We get another shot
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: at him in the 8 o'clock hour.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. He always sounds like he's on Quaaludes. Actually,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I think that was pretty exciting for him. Let's get
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to Daria Albinger now with the 7.30 news, Daria. Morning, guys.
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: Showers throughout the midday at Nor'easter is now moving out
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: to sea. We'll see a high of 62 degrees. The
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: Nor'easter did leave its calling card on the area, from
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: flooded streets in some areas to power outages to downed trees,
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: and one of those trees fell on a NYCHA worker
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: in Brooklyn over the weekend, killing him. A swimmer who
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: was reported missing during the storm has been found safe
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: and sound.
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: Over the weekend, rescue teams launched a search for an
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: unidentified male swimmer who disappeared off the shores of Fire Island.
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: He was last seen diving into 18-foot waves by Field
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: 3 at Robert Moses State Park around 2.30 p.m. on Saturday.
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: The man then contacted authorities when he learned that search
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: crews were looking for him. Officials thanked members of the
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: media and the public for spreading the word about this disappearance.
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: I'm Lizzie Radabali, WOR News.
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Iran's foreign minister says his country is fully prepared for
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: the war to resume. Abbas Arachi says his country also
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: stands ready for diplomacy. British police may have stopped a
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: potential terror attack on a U.K. air base that's used
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: by the U.S.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Military.
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: They arrested five men yesterday, acting on a tip about
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: suspicious vehicles heading toward RAF Fairford in western England. Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: the Nor'easter may have uncovered some history on Nantucket, the
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: remains of a 19th century shipwreck.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Wooden remnants were spotted on Saturday, and now the Nantucket
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Currents editor-in-chief believes they may be from the Warren Sawyer case.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: a schooner that wrecked about 142 years ago. Similar pieces
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: believed to be from the ship washed ashore in 2022.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Museum officials say more investigation is needed to confirm the
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: wreck's identity. I'm Mark Mayfield.
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: Ping Ping and Fu Shang are getting used to their
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: new home at Zoo Atlanta. The pandas that were promised
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: by China's President Xi during his visit last week arrived yesterday.
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: Giants win, Jets lose, Mets end their season with a
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: loss to Washington and the Yankees game against Baltimore was
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: rained out. Next up, Game 1 of the Wild Card
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: Series against Boston. Next news, 8 o'clock, bulletins at once.
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: I'm Daria Albinger on 710WOR.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Daria. We'll hear more about the Jets and
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Giants from the legendary Warner Wolf, who is coming up next.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And our 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You can relive all of the biggest moments. It's going
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to be streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu beginning October 1st.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Two games locally and for the analysis, the legendary sportscaster
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: to the video today. Warner Wolf. Warner, your analysis of
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: the Giants' win over the Titans.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: All right. I'll tell you this. Despite the win, you know,
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: I said it last week, there's no way that John
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Harbaugh is going to entrust the rest of the season
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: to with Jameis Winston with 14 games left. He's been
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: on the phone since Jason Dart got hurt, and he's
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: on the phone right now as we speak. He is, absolutely,
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: looking for somebody from another team to pick up his
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: backup quarterback. But the key is, what do the other
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: teams want from the Giants, and what would the Giants
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: be willing to give up I think there are seven options.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: You've got Tua Taglialova, Carson Wentz. Remember, he had some
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: good years with the Eagles. Gardner Minshew. These guys are
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: all backups. Now, Mack Jones, you remember him. Justin Fields,
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: who was horrible with the Jets, but he was good
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: with the Bears and Steelers. You have Jimmy Garoppolo. And
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: here is my long shot for... surprise possibility harbors old
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: winning Ravens Super Bowl quarterback 41 year old Joe Flacco.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Flacco's been around a long time you should be the
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: giant general manager.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: So tell me who do you want out of that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: group who would you want if you had your druthers.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: I think I would right now And again, you have
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: to understand, it's only for this season. He's not going
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: to play next year. Jackson Dart will be back, so
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: it's just to salvage the season. And he's not going
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: to do it with Jameis Winston. So of these guys,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: I would pick Carson Wentz. He had some great years
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: with the Eagles. You remember that, Larry? And he's playing
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: now with the Vikings. But again, you laughed at that
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: long shot. Joe Flacco.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Flacco knows Harbaugh. Harbaugh knows Flacco.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I only laughed because every single time a quarterback gets hurt,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they go, what about Joe Flacco?
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: And he plays well.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Every time he plays for somebody, he plays well. So
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I was only laughing at the fact that his name
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: came up again. His name's going to come up until
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: he's 50.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Well, he's laughing at you, too, Larry.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: He listens every morning.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: All right, what about Jets?
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Hey, how about those Jets? My man, Geno. Who says
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Geno Smith can't play well against good teams? 31 for 37.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: 321 yards. Excuse me, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Jets played well enough to win. But here's the only question.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: should Aaron Glenn continue as both the head coach and
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: calling the defensive plays? I don't think so. He doesn't
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: seem to be able to handle both at the same time.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Well, one thing we could say about the Jets, Warren,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: is they're interesting, and they're a hell of a lot
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: better than last year.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Yes, I would agree with that. And, by the way,
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: the Jets didn't exactly give Geno a vote of confidence
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: last When they signed Will Levis last week. Remember, he
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: bombed out with the Titans two years ago. And it
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: was Levis who said last month, I know there are
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: not 32 quarterbacks in the league better than me.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: He's right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: There are probably 64 quarterbacks in the league better than you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: If you count the backups. The pool of the week.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Here is a pool of the week maybe better. Boo
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: of the year. You've got to change this rule. In
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Saturday's USC-Oregon game, USC linebacker Desmond Stevens slammed Oregon quarterback
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: Dante Moore's head into the ground as Moore was attempting
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: to slide at the end of a scramble. Moore was
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: taken off the field on a stretcher, taken in an
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital. He has a concussion. Moore,
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: you know, he could be the Heisman Trophy winner and
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: the number one draft pick. He was able to move
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: his extremities and went back to Oregon with the team. However, Stevens,
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: who was ejected, celebrated the hit while Moore was still
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: on the ground, and then after he was ejected, came
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: back on the field and celebrated even more. Well, Stevens
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: has also been suspended the next game. But that's not enough. Absolutely.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: And in a lame apology, Stevens said, I take full
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: responsibility for my action. No kidding.
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: Who else?
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: You got to change. And you know that was written
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: for him.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: You got to change the rule.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I was surprised she could read it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: That's right. When the perpetrator commits a personal foul, like Stevens,
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: He should be out for as long as the victim
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: is out. And that goes for the National Football League,
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: the National Hockey League, and the NBA.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Here was the suspicious coach of the week. Man, this
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: was bad. Pitt was a 53-and-a-half point favorite over Bucknell,
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: but led by only 52 points, 52 to nothing, With
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: just 25 seconds left in the game and the ball
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: at the Bucknell 18-yard line. Well, one running play or
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: let the quarterback take a knee and the game's over, right? Wrong.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: The Pitt quarterback threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to win
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: 59-0 and beat the spread. Come on, coach. Did you
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: bet on the game and give the 53-and-a-half points? So
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: you have your Red Sox-Yankees best two out of three
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: beginning here tomorrow. Man, look at the pitching matchups. Cam Schlittler,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Max Freed, and Garrett Cole will go against Sonny Gray,
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Peyton Tolling, and Rainer Suarez. The Yankees won that season
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: series seven games to six because the Yankees at the
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: best american league record wild card all three games against
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: the red sox will be here and the winner then
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: advances to play the division winning raise in the best
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: round three out of five all right serious question ask
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: yourself this when benjamin netanyahu told the u n it's
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: survival what other choice do we have if the united
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: states was only the size of new jersey and surrounded
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: by enemies who have threatened to annihilate us, what would
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: we do? We would do the exact same thing as Israel.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: It's called survival. I rest my case.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: All right. Appreciate that, Warner Wolf. Same time, same place
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: next week, and we'll have the results of your picks.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: But right now, up next, we're going to go to
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: the car guy who's going to give us some info
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: about Earl. And not olive oil, 75%, which is fake,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: but motor oil. Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: with Natalie Migliore.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the segment where we normally have Natalie Migliore,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: so we kind of played that as a reminder for
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you that she's been off, but she is going to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: be back on Wednesday. Natalie Migliore is going to be
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: back on Wednesday, and we're looking forward to it. Now,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of the video, right, of cars
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: with water up past the doors and people trying to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: drive through flooded areas. What kind of damage does that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: do to a car? Luckily, we have one of the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: best in the area to talk about that, Ron Ananian,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: host of The Car Doctor, which is available weekly on
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. He's also owner of RA Automotive in Waldwick,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. So we want to talk about a couple
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: of things, but let's start with that because you've got
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of people dealing with it right now, Ron.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: First of all, good to have you back. And also,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: what should people be doing if their cars were flooded out?
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Well, if their cars are flooded out, Larry, good morning,
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: by the way, to everybody. If their cars are flooded
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: out before driving it, a mechanical review, and I would
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: consider calling my insurance company because it doesn't take much
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: to total a modern-day car, even if you didn't drive it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: If the water gets above the center of the wheels
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: and it gets inside the vehicle, there's an awful lot
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: of computer power in there that just got wet. And
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: is it going to be fixable, repairable, correct? You don't know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: and you don't want to start taking that chance and
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: just assume. Even if the car runs good today, you
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: still want to have it checked by a mechanic and
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: looked over because water goes everywhere.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Now, Ron, this is Curtis Sliwa. If you're shopping for
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: a used car, a pre-owned car as they now call it,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: sometimes they might be cars that actually went through a
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: flooding situation. How could you check to make sure you're
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: not getting a potential lemon in that regard?
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: You look in the trunk. Good morning, Curtis, by the way.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: You look in the trunk. You look at the spare tire.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: You know, even if the spare tire well is dry,
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: nobody ever looks in the trunk. It's really kind of amazing.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: And my 50 years of doing this, every time I
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: catch it, it's the spare tire well will be dry.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: If it doesn't have water in it, it's dry. But
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: there's a ring around the well, like the ring around
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: the bathtub. You can see it had water in it,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: and it's real obvious. The other thing is if you're
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: buying a used car, don't be afraid to ask the dealer,
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: is this a local car? Did you have this on
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: the lot? Where did you get it from? because sometimes
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: they come from other areas, and even the dealer doesn't
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: know they're buying a flood car. So it's a problem
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: for everybody. Diligence is the word that comes to mind
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: when I'm dealing with flood cars. You've got to look
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: at everything.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: We're hearing a lot about a motor oil shortage. What
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: should people be doing right now to make sure that
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: they are getting motor oil, maybe at the prices they
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: are now? Because if there's a shortage, they're going to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: go up and up and up.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Well, it's already gone up, Larry. What I was paying
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: $ 100 for in April, I'm now paying $ 172. Oh, my gosh. Yeah,
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: that's a 72% increase. There's a shortage of all the
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: lighter viscosity oils, the 08, the 016, the 020s. There's
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: an extreme shortage of all that. A lot of the
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: manufacturing is overseas. A lot of the manufacturing plants don't
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: seem to exist anymore for one reason or another. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: it's a game that if you're going for an oil change,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't wait, you know, oh, gee, I've only got
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: 5,000 on it. I'm going to stretch it another 1,000 miles.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: You may not have the option of choice of availability,
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: much less price, because it's a two-pronged problem. It's price
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: and availability. I've got the shop stacked, ceiling to floor
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: with oil. I saw this coming in April. I've been
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: buying oil since mid-August. I was placed on a two-case-a-day
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: restriction back at the beginning of the summer. Two and
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: a half, three weeks ago, I was placed on a
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: one case a week restriction. So it's there. It's gotten bad.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: And you're seeing the story break across the country now.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: And I'm happy to say we're breaking it here in
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: New York as far as breaking news because it's a
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: big deal without oil.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: They're going nowhere. Ron, when I got out of high school,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I was pumping gas, and I would actually take the
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: dipstick and check people's oil. And at times when it
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: would come out thick and black and gooey, I'd show them.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: I'd say, you really need an oil change. And the
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: guy would tell me, mind your own business. Just pump
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: the gas and leave me be. What should a person
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: be doing in terms of the difference in how many
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: months between oil changes?

  Speaker 5: So my rule, Ron's rule, is five months, 5,000 miles
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: on the majority of vehicles. Can you stretch it to
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: 7,000 or 8,000 miles, six or seven months? You sure
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: can if you're buying a good grade, a good quality
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: of oil. But this conversation is about, is that good
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: quality of oil still available? And it's not. There's such
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: a shortage right now. And people are going to see
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: it when they go to buy that oil change, and
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: you're going to see it over the next four to
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: six months in terms of availability. My understanding is from
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: my supply houses, we're going to see a big price
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: bump come the end of October, and we expect the
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: shortage to peak somewhere mid-November to late November. Now, this
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: isn't a case for panic. I don't want anybody to
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: panic here. There's availability. You're going to pay more. Don't
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: start stockpiling oil. I've got a supply of oil because
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: I've got a lot of cars to do. If you're
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: doing your own car, buy two oil changes ahead. That's
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: all you'll probably need because if it goes beyond that,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: we've got bigger problems.
• 33:47

• 33:58
  Speaker 1: we're going to check in with Ray Stajic again about

  Speaker 1: to be. That's right after the news.
